I use computer very often . Since i remember myself i had a conputer, that's why i know a lot about this subject. As a gamer for years i start looking for the perfect game machine and i realised that the best , according to the price and the games that it offers , XBOX is much better than ps2 . Everyone i ask for his opinion tell me that he would buy the ps2 because its the console that the most of people have. THAT'S BULL'SIT man.Is MICROSOFT THE BIGGEST COMPANY IN THE WORLD OR WHAT. It's unbelievable that some people try to get you the message that ps2 is the best cosole when in the same time you can a perfect unique game machine in which exists an PENTIUM 3 PROCC. , GE-FORCE 3(ARE YOU CRAZY WEEE AREEEE TAAALKING ABOOOUT THE BEST VIDEO CARD HAVE EVER BEEN MADE BY HUMMANS.) , A 5.1 SOUNDBLASTER CARD ( WHICH SUPPORTS AN AWSOME SOUND ) , DVD PLAYER , AN 8 GB HARD DISK ,etc. AND ALL THIS IN THE ABSOLUTE MACHINE . Please be smart and do not try to compare this thinks.

Hey guys, merry Xmas. I'm pretty sure I'll be busy tomorrow but will any of you guys be free Sunday? It'd be good to have a get-together....

Hey Enron, how's the job search going? Has anything come up lately? If not you should hang around here more!
monkey nutz

Dont let all these granola smoking monkeys convince you that I dont like Xmas. I love Xmas. Yeah the shopping is stressful and the people you have to deal with on the streets and in malls suck sometimes, but mostly you have to realize everyone else is in the same boat as you. Looking for the gift for that one person. Anyway, Christmas Eve and day is a great day for me. My family is all together, everyone is in a good mood. Even Carrie and David mostly put there shit aside. Anyway I like Xmas, even though the marketing world has perverted it a bit.

Tomarrow I will be around. Anyone want to hang? Call me on my cell since I may not get access to theactionteam. If you dont have my cell call 1-800-vikings and he will give you the four11.

K BUB I
Happy X-Treme X-Mass!

At my work x-mas party yesterday I won a $40 gift card to Honey Baked Ham. That'll almost get me a ham. Im glad I won, but other peeps won $100 Best Buy gift cards, and CASH, and X-Box, and a big screen TV. Bah. Least I can almost get a ham !

Rain don't stop - f-ing A! Alright, have a safe and sane x-mas and see u soon! buy my cdeez for xmas!
Santa says, "Hello!"

So, I met the guy earlier tonight as he was coming down the chimney here at my aunt's in Santa Barbara. She lives right off Santa Claus Lane, which apparently is where Santa summers, he owns a little surf shop, but that is neither here nor there. Anyway, he wishes you all a Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays, even if you are a bunch of fucking jerks who apparently don't know the meaning of Christmas. Santa can be blunt, but he is also forgiving.

Merry XXXmas to all and to all a good night!

Don Quixote; knight errant

will rescue everyone from the land of the wind and the ghosts. blech.. Actually, the book was somewhat lack-luster. The author had quite a powerful vocabulary for a crazy convict. I kept on waiting for some sudden heroic episode, but it was all just crazy talk. In the beginning, the incidences were funny but then it became merely pathetic and sadness. What a sad sad book.

Did you know that the El Presidente of Taiwan cancelled the Christmas holdiay? Talk about a Grinch who stole christmas. Asians never really celebrated christmas anyways. I consider myself a Catholic, but I don't think Jesus and the apostles sat around a decorated pine wood tree, drank alchoholic egg nog, and sang "rudolph the red nose raindeer" (which Aaron the Grinchonovich claims is all a marketing scam). jk! i love christmas! =D





Damn. Where is everyone?

It's quiet around here, has everyone been banished to the land of wind and ghosts?

I'm trying to finish up the last of my Christmas shitz0r. The worst part still has to be done, which is that for some reason my extended family has decided that we should all buy each other gifts from the $.99 store this year. I think that sometimes I would be into this kind of thing, but I'm kind of resentful about it right now. "Here's a pair of shitty scissors." "Oh, thanks." I think what it boils down to is I'm sitting here looking at literally a roomful of junk. I don't want anymore.

Actually, I'm excited for Christmas to be over, now that I think about it. I think it's a lot of fun for the kids, kind of stressful for everyone else.

Geez, what a grinch. I promise to learn about the meaning of Christmas soon!

Jon, Son of Dean

So... I'm going (a-going, even) to see Return of the King on Sunday, is the reason I won't be around on Sunday. Any of you guys seen it yet besides Johnny? (By the way, I sure hope there's someone loudly hitting on a girl when I watch the movie! But oh well, I guess you gotta take your chances where you can get 'em.) Anyway, I thought I was going to be busy tomorrow as well, but upon further examination, my schedule is clear until about 5:30 or 6:00. Also upon closer examination, these are loafers. Any chance you'll make it down tomorrow Rude?

I'm glad a good time was had by all. I'm not sure that I was the organizer, unless the rule is that whoever gets the beer is the de facto organizer. Everybody made valuable contributions, including my father for stepping in when I freaked out and hid in the bathroom, and also Torengo Mfg. Co. for sponsoring the event with fine snacks.

If the Romans had d20s it was probably to stick up each others' asses, so I think I'll keep my eighteen thousand dollars.
Happy Festivus to all.

Ya! Sorry I didn't get to see any of you guys at the convention - believe it or not, I had left Saturday open for it but OHHHHH i'm just an asshole like that. :( I wanna see strippers!!!

My cell phone number again: 3 two 3 eight 4 juan 6 se7en 6 seven. My old phone is LONG dead - so, update if u plz. I still need updated cellys from some of j00z.

I've been working a lot - lots of overtime - couple of 14 hour days every week- its a fucking drain. I wanna see you guys - are any of you meeting this sunday? i'll be seeing my folks and my buddy dore on sunday, so ill be in the neighborhood mostly, so maybe i can take the scion down there for a bit.

good luck with the ladee jahknee! thatd be cool if u could hook that up.

whatever happened to the pyramid scheme erlock was talking about? i want info! maybe if i meet up with some of u - my company was offering employees stock at 20% off up until today - they just went public or something. they (Thomson Group) are a mega-corp, so i dont really know if its worth buying stock in a big ass company like that. help me out PLZ.

new drink: Morroccan Mint Tea from Coffee Bean - its pretty good. Its like a mocha but feels less "heavy" (its green tea instead of cafe w/ chocolate.) I've also been drinking a shitload of Chai - mmm. My girlfriend makes it every morning - rad!

PS Initial D is gooood. If you like weird racing cartoons.
Yay! kudos to Peter Adkinson, possibly the greatest gamer CEO of all.

If gencon so cal had stocks, I probably still wouldn't buy it, seeing that the ROI is so horrid. But it's all a labor of love.
More GenCon info...

Peter Adkinson's writeup of the con can be found right here.

cool

Also, check out this pretty cool NOFX song. (For Windows Media Player.)
Funnee how one meets people at the oddest of times

Met this girl who is a friend of a friend, and I lek her a lot. It seems the relationship bug is going around. I have to quickly shed this single stigma as I think I am the only pathetic soul in The Dating Action Team that is still single. So she is nice. and she's going to FUCLA. We talked throughout the movie and although I felt I may have been inconsiderate talking so much, i had to capitalize on the opportunity. So... she gave me a big hug at the end. I'll probably call her later. yah! she is a girl I would consider dating, my friends. Eric, if this succeeds you will HAVE to allow one more to your wedding party!

NEXT issues -

*LOTR III was good.

*Roman dice is a good opportunity. specially if we create a whole set, d4, d6, d8, d7, d5 etc

*Kublacon is next! Peanuts, Burgers, Big beerskis, Lots of good miniature gaming!

*Jon was a fucko for not attending bachelor con. Dean however, was one slick dude. I vote we send jon to boot hill, and straddle dean in the saddle.

Night!

Fucker Jon

At least his father is a real man. Cowboy hat, moustache, accent and all. None of that city slicker bull. He sure knows how to rock the casbah.

Now that I have alittle extra time on my hands I am learning the ways of Cascading Style Sheets. I had know how to hack at it, but now I am learning the ins and outs. Good stuff. Well.. At least Elrock will know what I am talking about.

Man one glass of wine and I am toast. Damn fly weight anymore.

Chopper, suck ballz
Man, You're right!

I'm actually a little pissed at Jon for not showing up, or rather conveniently getting lost in the bathroom. Having Dean around did ease the pain of Jon's rejection, but still, it hurts a little bit. That Dean is quite a guy. He must have had quite a life growing up a Texan in South Carolina, but more power to him!
Good idea Elrock.

18K? Damn. I want one still. Mike, go steal one at the next dig. I am sure there is one just waiting for our personal use. In other notes... Jon? Jon didnt go to the Bachelor party remember? I think Dean organized things. Stupid Jon got lost in the bathroom or something. Twas a good time had by all. I am glad that you enjoyed your eve of debauchery.

5100 ppl. That sounds about right, but still was well under the anticipated amound of 13K. At least that was a rumor around our group as to the expected turnout. Hopefully the GenCon SoCal will fill out in years to come and the Union will not scare away the vendors. Bastages. Speaking of which I would not be surprised if the union workers dont get screwed out of the Vons deal. In a city like LA, companies just do not have issues with hiring scabs. Go Union Bloat.

More notes/comments on GenCon:

+ The con did seem a tad heavy on cards, but the dealer-room-onovich didnt seem to reflect that. There were only a few tables. However, I was very disappointed at the lack of representation of minitures games. There are by far more at Strategicon events.

+ Speaking of... Do you think GenCon will have an effect on Strategicon events? I would hope it would have a positive effect on the event by bringing gaming back to the attention californian gamers. Yet, I am still fearful that it will not have any effect.

+ True Dungeon was definately a great event. How many years have any of us dreamed of a real life dungeon crawl like that. Kudos to mike for getting the tickets. Kudos for whoever discovered the event.

+ The Ripley Quote, Priceless. "Ease back Ripley, Thou art only grinding upon metal. Thou hast broken thine transaxle." Or something to that effect. Gotta love JP in his element.

+ Carrie, my sister. Dancing? Yeah... All of you... Assholes! But funny assholes.

sidenote: KublaCon this next May 28-31? Johnny and I are interested. Takers? For those of you who are not Elrock, Ja-eL, or I: KublaCon was very fun last year. Mo Betta than Strategicon.

OhshitnowImbooooored!
